Indigo Plateau

Indigo Plateau

The Indigo Plateau serves as the capital for the Pokémon League in the Kanto region. This is where the Trainers who have defeated all eight Gym Leaders battle against the Elite Four and the Champion. The entrance hall houses a Pokémon Center and a Poké Mart, allowing challengers to prepare themselves and their Pokémon for the gauntlet ahead. The Elite Four is a group of talented Pokémon Trainers second only to the Champion in terms of power, and must be fought in succession with no break. These five battles will not be easy, but challengers who bring their strongest Pokémon and a healthy supply of Potions and Revives may finally find themselves in the Hall of Fame.

Elite Four

Battle 1

Lorelei's room

The first member of the Elite Four is Lorelei, a master Ice-type Trainer. Ice-type Pokémon are weak to Fire-, Rock-, and Fighting-type moves, while Ice-type moves are super effective against Grass-, Flying-, Ground-, and Dragon-type Pokémon. Her Jynx is notably her only Pokémon that is not Water type. Due to her Pokémon's dual typings, Electric moves are the most useful against Lorelei's frigid forces.

Defeating Lorelei opens the door to the second room.

Battle 2

Bruno's room

The second member of the Elite Four is Bruno, a master Fighting-type Trainer. Fighting-type Pokémon are weak to Flying- and Psychic-type moves, while Fighting-type moves are super effective against Normal-, Rock-, and Ice-type Pokémon. A pair of Onix round out his team, so Grass and Water moves are also helpful. Slowbro and Starmie may be especially useful here, as their Water/Psychic typing helps to counter each opposing Pokémon.

Elite Four Bruno Indigo Plateau FireRed and LeafGreen Reward: $5600 Types: Rock Ground Ability: Rock Head Held item: None Onix♂ Lv.51 Earthquake Ground   --       Rock Tomb Rock   --       Iron Tail Steel   --       Roar Normal   --       Type: Fighting Unknown Ability: Keen Eye Held item: None Hitmonchan♂ Lv.53 Sky Uppercut Fighting   --       Mach Punch Fighting   --       Rock Tomb Rock   --       Counter Fighting   --       Type: Fighting Unknown Ability: Limber Held item: None Hitmonlee♂ Lv.53 Mega Kick Normal   --       Foresight Normal   --       Brick Break Fighting   --       Facade Normal   --       Types: Rock Ground Ability: Rock Head Held item: None Onix♂ Lv.54 Double-Edge Normal   --       Iron Tail Steel   --       Earthquake Ground   --       Sand Tomb Ground   --       Type: Fighting Unknown Ability: Guts Held item: Sitrus Berry Machamp♂ Lv.56 Bulk Up Fighting   --       Cross Chop Fighting   --       Scary Face Normal   --       Rock Tomb Rock   --

Defeating Bruno opens the door to the third room.

Battle 3

Agatha's room

The third member of the Elite Four is Agatha, a master Ghost-type Trainer. Ghost-type moves are super effective against Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokémon, while Ghost-type Pokémon are weak to Dark- and Ghost-type moves. Normal- and Fighting-type moves will have no effect. Take out her two Gengar as soon as possible, or risk the effects of Sleep and Poisoning. As all of her Pokémon are also part Poison, Ground- and Psychic-type attacks are the best ways to calm Agatha's spirits.

Elite Four Agatha Indigo Plateau FireRed and LeafGreen Reward: $5800 Types: Ghost Poison Ability: Levitate Held item: None Gengar♀ Lv.54 Confuse Ray Ghost   --       Shadow Punch Ghost   --       Double Team Normal   --       Toxic Poison   --       Types: Poison Flying Ability: Inner Focus Held item: None Golbat♀ Lv.54 Confuse Ray Ghost   --       Bite Dark   --       Air Cutter Flying   --       Poison Fang Poison   --       Types: Ghost Poison Ability: Levitate Held item: None Haunter♀ Lv.53 Mean Look Normal   --       Curse ???   --       Hypnosis Psychic   --       Dream Eater Psychic   --       Type: Poison Unknown Ability: Intimidate Held item: None Arbok♀ Lv.56 Bite Dark   --       Sludge Bomb Poison   --       Screech Normal   --       Iron Tail Steel   --       Types: Ghost Poison Ability: Levitate Held item: Sitrus Berry Gengar♀ Lv.58 Shadow Ball Ghost   --       Sludge Bomb Poison   --       Hypnosis Psychic   --       Nightmare Ghost   --

Defeating Agatha unlocks the door to the fourth room.

Battle 4

Lance's room

The fourth and final member of the Elite Four is Lance, a master Dragon-type Trainer and leader of the Elite Four. Dragon-type moves are super effective against Dragon-type Pokémon, while Dragon-type Pokémon are weak to Dragon- and Ice-type moves. All of Lance's Pokémon have a draconic appearance, but only three are Dragon type. Use moves like Ice Beam and Dragon Claw to tear through his two Dragonair and his Dragonite. Due to its secondary Flying type, his Aerodactyl also takes serious damage from Ice moves, but Water moves are also effective. His Gyarados takes massive damage from Electric moves, so use Thunderbolt to take it down. With their Ice and Electric attacks, Articuno and Zapdos are some of the best choices to help slay Lance's dragons.

Elite Four Lance Indigo Plateau FireRed and LeafGreen Reward: $6000 Types: Water Flying Ability: Intimidate Held item: None Gyarados♂ Lv.56 Bite Dark   --       Dragon Rage Dragon   --       Twister Dragon   --       Hyper Beam Normal   --       Type: Dragon Unknown Ability: Shed Skin Held item: None Dragonair♂ Lv.54 Safeguard Normal   --       Outrage Dragon   --       Dragon Rage Dragon   --       Hyper Beam Normal   --       Type: Dragon Unknown Ability: Shed Skin Held item: None Dragonair♂ Lv.54 Safeguard Normal   --       Outrage Dragon   --       Thunder Wave Electric   --       Hyper Beam Normal   --       Types: Rock Flying Ability: Rock Head Held item: None Aerodactyl♂ Lv.58 Wing Attack Flying   --       AncientPower Rock   --       Scary Face Normal   --       Hyper Beam Normal   --       Types: Dragon Flying Ability: Inner Focus Held item: Sitrus Berry Dragonite♂ Lv.60 Safeguard Normal   --       Outrage Dragon   --       Wing Attack Flying   --       Hyper Beam Normal   --

With the Elite Four defeated, the door to the Champion's room is unlocked. Take a moment to prepare your Pokémon now, as you will be drawn into battle immediately upon entering the next room. Only one person stands between you and the title of Champion!

Champion

Champion's room

Blue defeated the Elite Four before you even set foot in Victory Road, and now the title of Indigo League Champion rests with him. The first half of his team will always consist of Pidgeot, Alakazam, and Rhydon. The second half changes depending on his first Pokémon. Electric-type attacks terrorize his Pidgeot and Gyarados (or Blastoise), so a crackling Thunderbolt will send them reeling. A strong Water Pokémon can wash away his Rhydon and Arcanine (or Charizard) with Surf. His Exeggutor (or Venusaur) cannot survive long in extreme heat or cold, so hitting it with Flamethrower or Ice Beam will do the trick. The most annoying opponent may be his Alakazam due to its Recover move; its Defense is fairly low, so hit it with a physical move to put an end to its games.
